(6,439 posts)I'm gen x myself, but I totally get it.
Really, there's SO much content out there, who wants to own something anymore? I used to buy movies, but after awhile I realized why am I spending money on it when I can get most of it on demand? And if there's a day when on demand is no longer available, we likely have bigger issues to deal with.
The radio analogy is decent, but it's faulty. Because that's like driving around in a car with a radio or carrying a boombox. Now it's a lot more personalized radio to tastes, a lot more interactive, and the quality of the stream is definitely better in many areas than radio broadcasts are.
Honestly, at 44, I don't want to own jack shit anymore. I saw my father overwhelmed by the things he owned over the years and now I'm stuck cleaning it out and throwing it away. I'm raising my two kids, both teens, to be very selective about what they own so they don't become tied to stuff. I buy a fair bit of digital music and books, but consider both long term rentals.
None of it's coming with me in the end.
